Mechanically sound · cosmetic wear disclosed. Sourced from Liaoning, China. 150-point inspection PDF + 80–120 photos available on inquiry.
Below are manufacturer-published nominal specifications. Actual measured values for this unit are in the inspection report. We verify all critical values against the machine on inspection.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.
ExcaYard 150-point pre-export inspection — engine compression, hydraulic cycle test, undercarriage measurement, ECM data extraction.
The 150-point inspection report is the primary trust document for this purchase. It is shared as a PDF on inquiry — no registration, no gated download. Major findings, wear measurements, ECM screenshots, and the grading decision are all visible.
Some exporters quote low CIF then add discovery fees, doc fees, handling fees, lashing surcharges. Our CIF is the total — only port-side destination charges (controlled by your local broker, not us) are extra.

2017 Volvo EC480D, the 49-ton class flagship of Volvo's D-series crawler excavators. Sourced from a Liaoning mining contractor with 7,400 hours. Heavy-duty configuration with rock bucket, suitable for serious mining and quarry operations.
Volvo D13J Stage IV engine, 2.4m³ rock bucket, 49T operating weight, heavy-duty undercarriage. Approximately 60% undercarriage life remaining. Volvo CareTrack telematics functional. Original Volvo paint with field wear consistent with mining use.
Grade B. Mechanically sound — engine and hydraulics tested under load. Cosmetic wear consistent with mining service. One swing motor bearing replaced in 2023 (documentation included). All filters and oils recently serviced.
The Volvo EC480D combines European build quality with the fuel economy that Volvo is famous for. The D13J engine is one of the most efficient in the 50-ton class. For mining and large-scale earthmoving where fuel cost dominates operating expense, the Volvo is often the lowest-total-cost-of-ownership choice.
Mining (Chile, Peru, Indonesia, Kazakhstan), large quarry, major infrastructure projects. Buyers who plan to keep the machine 5,000+ hours benefit most from Volvo's fuel efficiency.
RoRo shipping only for the 49T class. FOB Shanghai or Qingdao. Major-port specialty handling required. Transit estimates: Callao 35-40 days, Durban 30-35 days, Vladivostok 10-12 days.
Two reasons: (1) Volvo's resale value globally is slightly below Cat/Komatsu in the 50-ton class, (2) this unit has heavier cosmetic wear from mining service. Mechanically it is fully equivalent and the price reflects the disclosed condition.
Volvo CE has dealer presence in 140+ countries with particularly strong networks in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. We can confirm dealer presence for your specific location on inquiry.
Based on reported operator data, the EC480D consumes approximately 28-32 L/h under typical mining load, which is 10-15% better than equivalent 50T class competitors.
